I ask you where you`re goin`
And you tell me where you been
I can tell you been doin` me wrong, baby
From the shape you`re in
You better open up you`re eyes baby
Cause fools do get wise
Your late up and sleep all day
You jumb and you ramble all night
Well the fool that I am baby
I can tell you ain`t doin` me right
You better wake up and realize
That fools do get wise
Yeah, when the cat`s away
I know the rat `s gonna play
But I can`t tell what you`re puttin` down
Woman you play when the cat `s around
You better try this one on for size
I tell you fools do get wise
I`m through being you`re fool baby
I ain`t gonna give you another red cent
Gonna tell the rentman to padlock the door
Cause I ain`t gonna pay your rent no more
You better open up you`re eyes woman
Fools do get wise
